		<h1>The Online (Prototype) Action Game Generator (1.3 beta)</h1>

		This program enables you to create a simple action game online by just
		filling in a set of parameters. You don't need to do any programming.
		Unlike most game creators, you determine the basic dynamics of the
		game, rather than create content for what is an essentially fixed
		game. So, you do not design levels, but rather, you determine the
		basic behaviour of game objects and how they interact. This means that
		you can try out different game concepts in a matter of minutes.

		<P>The generator does not (yet) allow you to select any graphics
		to speak of. Rather, action is depicted using abstract coloured
		blocks. The games that this program generates are just prototypes,
		which may then be used as a basis for a finished game (in theory,
		anyway!).
		<P>This program is based on the <a
			href="http://www.13thmonkey.org/~boris/jgame">JGame</a> engine.
		Future versions should also enable filling in decorative aspects of
		the game, such as title screen, graphics and sounds, and generate neat
		and concise Java code that can be compiled using the JGame libraries,
		so you can easily obtain a template for your game that you can start
		coding on.
		<P>The parameters that determine your generated game can be
		downloaded and used with the JGame SimpleGeneratedGame class. There
		are no facilities for saving and reloading your settings on the
		website yet! This program is still in development stages, so expect to
		find bugs and quirks.
